Why don't we provide a small number of locations, the destruction of any of which would significantly cripple our government. I can't imagine who would find such a consolidation helpful to their goals.
Unless that goal is building SkyNet. Then it's really useful.
Twitter has too many prerequisites for it to be useful in a situation like this; you need a cell phone whose number is not linked to a previous Twitter account, with MMS capabilities and a network that supports it, or a computer with access to the internet, a usable keyboard and a browser/email client. It's actually just short of a miracle he was able to use a cell phone while in jail—most jails will only allow you access to one POTS call, and many times you do not have access to the keypad while you are using it.
There needs to exist a service that will accept incoming vocal transmissions, transcribe them, then post them on Twitter.
(Plus if you google Rupert, he's beaten to first place by a ginger wizard.)
This only means he's good at staying out of the public's eye (and out of the scope of their wrath).
Most people get angry at people like Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and others for saying ignorant, racist, elitist things on the airwaves, while those who really influence public opinion the most never get a second look.
The thing that makes me angriest about this is that SCO's lawyers probably used GNU diff to analyze all that code.
Still, all they came up with were a few single-function definitions that probably couldn't be written any other way. Instead of rejoicing in compatibility and interoperability like any normal F/OSS programmer, the capitalists frown upon it; in their minds nothing can improve upon their "perfect" [30+ year old] code.
That's another thing that's bothering me about this; that code is so very very old that the amount of software rot is almost unthinkable. Can they even truly call it a "product" that they "own" if the damn thing won't even compile? If it won't run, well... then it's just a bunch of meaningless code.
This is a blatant violation of the privacy of non-heterosexual Google employees. What right does Google even have under the law to ask them something like that? Seriously.
If by "max out our megahertz" you mean sit there with your CPU at 100% capacity, waiting for a source-based install to compile then yes, I would suggest using Gentoo Linux for that.
For me, on the other hand, I trust the uniformity of the x86_64 architecture and Patrick Volkerding's willingness to listen to those who find bugs in the Slackware-Current tree.

It sounds like this is an effort to take some of the load off of the hard disk it takes from constantly reading from an encrypted filesystem.
What are they going to do for UNIX file systems?

Does this mean that the native Africans from the fossil records didn't come along after the white people and kill them?

Problem: Guns kill people
Solution: Revoke the 2nd Amendment and ban guns!
Problem: Humans are the weakest link in computer security.
Solution: Outlaw people.
I personally gave up on using Linux for my main PC a 2 years ago.
Quitter.

I have the entire kernel source tree installed and indexed, as well as all kernel modules, libraries, etc. etc. etc. I can't find it anywhere either.

Don't. Network. Critical. Systems. How hard can it be to figure this out?

... But I guess Google isn't really that concerned with privacy of its users, much less its employees.

I'm wondering what effect this will have on paralell computing / clustering.

But we still must try. As a last resort, "we the people" should plan an insurrection.
